My husband’s all time favourite dessert is lemon tart and, it has to be said, the more lemony the better. So for his Birthday recently, I created this AIP and GAPS compliant recipe as a surprise and I’m excited to tell you it is today’s guest post on the Paleo Mom’s website. Please do go over and check it out. He loved it, by the way!
Happy weekend everyone and remember … when life gives you lemons, make lemon tart! 🙂
This looks so yummy and I’d really like to try making it. Problem is I can’t find Great Lakes Gelatin here in Calgary and its not available in Canada through Amazon. Where do you get yours?
Thank you Esther. I get mine from Amazon.com and have it shipped to just the other side of the border, however I’ve just looked on Amazon.ca and you can find it here http://www.amazon.ca/Great-Lakes-Unflavored-Gelatin-16-Ounce/dp/B0008D6WBA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1412693878&sr=8-1&keywords=great+lakes+gelatin. Alternatively there is a shop in Vancouver called Home on the Range who now sell it and may be able to send it mail order for you – http://www.hotro.ca.
Thank you so much for this information. I will purchase some through Amazon.ca right away. So excited!!
This popped up as a feed from someone I follow and so loving lemons and having a glut on my lemon tree thought I’d make it as a treat last Sunday. Well half of it went that night! Truly delicious lemon tart, thank you
What a wonderful comment, thanks so much for telling me Amanda. Oh, and I’m trying not to be jealous of your lemon tree!
This recipe is so delicious – thank you!
I’m not too keen on dates so I used coconut flour and fat, toasted in a saucepan on the stove and pressed in a pan because I was too lazy to bake. The filling has so many possibilities and I am thinking of trying it with vanilla bean powder and a hint of lemon to mimic the flavor of cheesecake.
That said this recipe is great as it is, my husband loved it too. Well done.
Glad you liked it Kate, thanks for letting me know. Your ideas sound so good 🙂
I just served this up for my whole family (husband, kids and in-laws) together with your lemon and mint roast chicken and they both went down a storm!! Thank you. I am looking forward to trying out some more of your wonderful recipes for my kids. x
Sarah, that’s so great to hear. Another family who loves lemons as much as we do – thank you for letting me know 🙂
Thank you very much for ALL your recipes! for creating it and sharing it!
It makes my life with AIP diet so delicious and simple.
This dessert I have been making already several times, it always makes me feel happy:)… and my family too.
I wish you all the best!
Thank you once again!
Aw thanks Eleonore, that’s such a lovely thing to say 🙂
So pleased you get happiness from your lemon tart!
Made this for a Christmas party and it turned perfectly. Was glad for the tip to have an artist’s palette knife handy to get it away from sides of the pan. Tasted delicious! I strained the lemon juice for a smooth texture. Added a scant tsp. extra of honey. I got my 7″ pan from Amazon. Specs. said it was 1 1/2 ” high, but it was really closer to 3″ . The filling came just below the top which worked great. I made it the day before the party and left it in pan overnight in frig. for the lunch party the next day. Thanks SO much for this recipe. I was surprised it did not taste coconutty, which I greatly appreciated! The c. milk you suggest was new to me and I’ll be buying that from now on. I like the smaller containers that it comes in and it was very smooth. Thanks for that tip. It did take me longer than 20 minutes prep time, but I had allowed extra time.
So pleased to hear it was a great success Brenda, you’ve inspired me to make it over the Holidays. 🙂
